17 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the respective write cycle count is associated with a number of write operations performed on the data unit.

3

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the media management criterion is satisfied if the write cycle count of the data unit is less than or equal to a late wear leveling threshold, and wherein the media management criterion is not satisfied if the write cycle count of the data unit exceeds the late wear leveling threshold.

4

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the late wear leveling threshold is based on a percentage of a life expectancy of the memory device.

5

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the second constant cycle count is a fraction of the first constant cycle count.

6

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the media management operation comprises a wear leveling operation.

7

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory device comprises a cross point array of non-volatile memory.

9

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the respective write cycle count is associated with a number of write operations performed on the data unit.

10

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the media management criterion is satisfied if the write cycle count of the data unit is less than or equal to a late wear leveling threshold, and wherein the media management criterion is not satisfied if the write cycle count of the data unit exceeds the late wear leveling threshold.

11

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the late wear leveling threshold is based on a percentage of a life expectancy of the memory device.

12

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the second constant cycle count is a fraction of the first constant cycle count.

13

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the media management operation comprises a wear leveling operation.

14

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the memory device comprises a cross point array of non-volatile memory.

16

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the respective write cycle count is associated with a number of write operations performed on the data unit.

17

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the media management criterion is satisfied if the write cycle count of the data unit is less than or equal to a late wear leveling threshold, and wherein the media management criterion is not satisfied if the write cycle count of the data unit exceeds the late wear leveling threshold.

18

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the late wear leveling threshold is based on a percentage of a life expectancy of the memory device.

19

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the media management operation comprises a wear leveling operation.

20

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the second constant cycle count is a fraction of the first constant cycle count.
